Green Wednesday is the day before Thanksgiving, Wednesday, November 25, 2026, and one of the biggest cannabis shopping days of the year. Dispensaries get slammed as people stock up before the long weekend, and a lot of shops run deals.

What Is Green Wednesday, and Why Is It Called That?

Green Wednesday is the cannabis industry’s name for the day before Thanksgiving. It riffs on Black Friday, and on the night before Thanksgiving’s reputation as one of the busiest bar nights of the year. Green is for, well, the plant.

The reason it’s busy is practical. Lots of dispensaries close or cut their hours on Thanksgiving Day, people are heading home to see family, and a four-day weekend is coming. So shoppers stock up on Wednesday, and shops answer with some of their deepest discounts before Black Friday.

The numbers back it up. Headset, which tracks retail cannabis sales, reported Green Wednesday sales 33% above an average Wednesday in 2021, 48% above in 2022 and 52% above in 2023.

Green Wednesday Deals You Can Order Online

Most Green Wednesday deals you’ll see come from local dispensaries: in person, in legal states, and gone when the shop closes. Online hemp brands work differently. They ship hemp-derived THC and THCa products to most U.S. states, so you can shop from the couch and skip the line.

Our Green Wednesday deal: 25% off everything on the site for email subscribers, from November 16 through Cyber Monday. Subscribers also get a BOGO from November 27 to 30. The two deals don’t stack, so each one is redeemed on its own order. Some products have state restrictions, and TribeTokes sells hemp-derived products and checks state rules at checkout.

Will It Arrive Before Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving and Weed: Hosting and Guest Etiquette

A little planning keeps the day easy for everyone at the table.

  • 21+ only, and ask the host first. It’s their house and their family.
  • Label edibles and keep them up high. A gummy looks like candy to kids and pets, so keep it in its original packaging and out of reach.
  • Start low and wait. Edibles can take an hour or more to kick in, so give the first one time before you reach for a second.
  • Don’t drive. Plan your ride home before the pie comes out.
  • Know the drug test rule. Products with THC or THCa will cause a failed drug test.
